Böcker av Marshall I. (Harvard University) Goldman

The Soviet Union in the post-Brezhnev era confronts an economic disaster on a vast scale.

A lucid analysis of Russia's titanic struggle to change from a centrally planned economy to a market economy.

"Once again, Marshall Goldman has put his finger directly on the problems that hamper reform in the Soviet Union. Anyone who wants to understand Gorbachev's failings, the bureaucratic infighting and built-in reluctance to change will gain insights from this taut, readable book."-Hedrik Smith

Gorbachev's Challenge is deeply knowledgeable about the Soviet and Chinese institutional landscapes, and the American system as well...There is no better-informed or more imaginative introduction to the economic problems facing the Russians as the century ends.
